XForms Properties
XForms Properties
XForms uses properties to define data restrictions, types and behaviors.
Examples
A required="true()" property means that the input field is
required (cannot be empty on submit).
A type="decimal" property will only allow a decimal value to be submitted.
A calculate property can calculate a value.
Bind Properties to Data
XForms uses the bind element to bind XForms properties to XForms data:
<model>
<instance>
<person>
<fname/>
<lname/>
</person>
</instance>
<bind nodeset="person/lname" required="true()"/>
</model> |
In the example above, the <bind nodeset="person/lname"
required="true()"> specifies that the lname input field is required
(cannot be empty on submit).
